3 managers who could succeed Quique Sanchez Flores at Watford

#2 Paul Clement

Paul Clement

Paul Clement has been a part of coaching teams at large clubs like Bayern Muchen and Paris Saint-Germain with Carlo Ancelotti. By default, he has worked with the best. His record as an independent manager is also not too shabby. His first season at Derby County concluded with sacking for having a 'poor style of play' despite being in the play-off positions. In his second job at Swansea City AFC was in the Premier League. He was appointed mid-season and did well to keep them up. His summer signings did not pay off. For example, big-name Renato Sanches did not settle and failed to contribute to his side effectively. Clement was sacked, unfairly according to many commentators from a very dire situation at Swansea. He has since worked at Reading, embroiled in a relegation battle in the Championship and failed to rescue them from the poor form.

Considering his experience with struggling clubs, Clement might be wary of going for Watford, which is under so much pressure. Watford with their record of sacking managers might be willing to look past it and provide him with a short term contract. However, Watford would benefit from his pragmatic style and astute coaching methods. He might also lack experience as Head Coach to rescue a side so deep in trouble. Clement is said to be a great coach but can he convince the misfiring Watford that they are good enough to win?
